Teenage keeper Woods: I chose Man Utd ahead of Arsenal

Teenage goalkeeper Gary Woods has revealed how he chose Manchester United ahead of Arsenal.

The 17 year-old told manutd.com: "I was playing for Cambridge United and I heard there was a scout at the game. I didn't know which club he was from. After the game the scout came up to me and said he was going to watch me again, and a week after that I was offered a trial. I was so shocked!

"Then I found out there were quite a few clubs interested. In the end, it came down to a decision between United and Arsenal. There was no contest really. I'm actually a Chelsea fan. My dad's dad grew up near the ground and I've just followed the family trend."
